Box review

Box is a cloud content platform that suits offices whose documents travel outside the company. Every business plan on its pricing page includes unlimited storage, integrated Box AI, unlimited e-sign requests, more than 1,500 integrations and SOC 1, 2 and 3 compliance support, with a minimum of 3 users. The entry Business plan has a 5 GB upload limit and charges for each external collaborator. Business Plus raises uploads to 15 GB, adds advanced admin controls and allows unlimited external collaborators, which is the plan most client-facing firms will need. Enterprise adds content portals with Box Hubs, 1,000 AI units a month, advanced workflows and FedRAMP Moderate and HIPAA compliance support with a 50 GB upload limit. Box also sells Box Extract for structured data and Doc Gen for generating documents. Box showed euro prices from our location, so the USD check is pending. Compared with SharePoint, Box is simpler to roll out but sits outside the Office suite.
